49ers Rumors: SF 'Relishing' Attention Surrounding No. 3 Pick in 2021 NFL Draft

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly enjoying the fact that nobody is quite sure who they will select with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night.

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, one source said the Niners are "relishing" the attention that comes along with the uncertainty surrounding their status.

It is widely assumed that the Jacksonville Jaguars will take Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence first overall followed by the New York Jets selecting BYU quarterback Zach Wilson second overall. That would leave the 49ers with a choice between quarterbacks Mac Jones of Alabama, Trey Lance of North Dakota State and Justin Fields of Ohio State.
